(45,319 posts)Andre Previn was married to his song writing partner, Dory Previn. Dory and Mia became friends, Mia was 24, the Previns much older. Andre left Dory and married Mia, half his age. Dory Previn wrote a song about her called 'Beware of Young Girls'
Beware of young girls who come to the door
Wistful and pale, of twenty and four
Delivering daisies with delicate hands
Beware of young girls, too often they crave
To cry at a wedding, and dance on a grave
She was my friend, my friend, my friend
I thought her motives were sincere
Oh yes I did
Ah, but this lass, it came to pass
Had a dark and different plan
She admired my own sweet man
She admired my own sweet man
We were friends
Oh yes we were
And she just took him from my life
Oh yes she did
So young and vain, she brought me pain
But I'm wise enough to say
She will leave him one thoughtless day
She'll just leave him and go away
Oh yes
Beware of young girls
Beware of young girls
Beware
Now let's remember that Mia kept up her affair with former spouse Sinatra while taking up with the married Previn, while married to Preven, while dumping Previn, then later while she was with Woody Allen.
Just some perspective, both Mia and her mother have a tendency to paint themselves in very excellent and saintly light that others might not see as suitable.
